The week included two days in which the heat index neared 100 degrees, leading to dozens of reports of heat-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. But there have yet to be any heat advisories, when heat index values top 105 degrees, issued this year.

Last year, health officials confirmed 17 heat-related deaths in the state from May through September, down from 46 in 2012, 34 in 2011 and 32 in 2010.

When temperatures rise into the 90s and above, health officials encourage residents to take precautions including staying out of the sun, drinking plenty of water, limiting outdoor physical activity and wearing light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.

Historic flooding and the coldest temperatures in decades made weather headlines in Baltimore in 2014. Rainfall records were set in April and August, and after a frigid winter, the summer was comfortable and fall cool. The year is expected to be the coolest and wettest here in years.
